Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

It's not the right time for the Corpse Bone Cultivation.

Shiro gritted his teeth as he looked at Haneda's trusting expression.

Mr. Haneda needs his tools, he needs his Ice Release!

If I can't even use my skills, will Mr. Haneda still need me?

Mr. Haneda, he's been so good to me...

Suddenly, Bai thought of Mr. Haneda's motherly gentleness and warmth, and ice crystals instantly formed on her hands.

Under Kimimaro's astonished gaze, the ice crystals reflected a dazzling white light as the sunlight shone upon them.

Haneda activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, capturing the chakra in Shiro's hand.

The wind and water chakra fused together very naturally, without any repulsion.

Haneda recorded Haku's Ice Release technique using his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He tried to imitate it, extending his hand and mobilizing his chakra, releasing it into his palm according to the chakra ratio used by Haku when he used Ice Release.

The swirling wind stirred the water, causing it to spin rapidly, eventually turning into foam and exploding.

"Still not working?"

Haneda's gaze sharpened, then he said to Bai:

"Try a prism."

"Yes, Mr. Haneda!"

Haku used Ice Release chakra to condense ice crystals into a prism.

Sunlight shines on a prism, causing dispersion.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—a small rainbow appears.

Bai stared at the rainbow, somewhat lost in thought; he admired such beautiful ninjutsu.

Kimimaro smiled to himself, thinking:

White still has some effect on Mr. Haneda.

Although it is not as good as myself at all.

After recording the changes in the form of Haku's Ice Release chakra, Haneda fell into deep thought.

He vaguely knew something.

He mobilized his Wind Release and Water Release chakra once again.

Start fusion!

As the wind spun the water, it slowly turned into ice crystals.

Suddenly, a chakra rejection phenomenon appeared!

The ice crystals began to expand, about to explode!

Upon seeing this, Haneda immediately unleashed his Myriad Manifestations technique, and the ice crystals were fully formed.

He sensed the depletion of his pupil power and smiled slightly.

"Based on the amount of eye power consumed, find the right direction, and with personal effort, you can definitely learn Ice Release within half a year."

"Even though I haven't succeeded yet, it's enough."

Chapter 200 The Hero of Sunagakure, Betrayed by the Village

Because of Shiro's weak health, Haneda and his group traveled very slowly.

Along the way, Haneda taught Kimimaro White Wind Release and Water Release, as well as taijutsu.

It must be said that both Haku and Kimimaro were geniuses.

When Haneda was teaching Haku, he used a C-rank Wind Release technique, but Haku only watched it once before he was able to use it himself.

Kimimaro's talent was equally terrifying.

Haneda taught him swordsmanship and physical techniques, and Kimimaro learned them after only watching them once.

Furthermore, in subsequent battle practice, Kimimaro quickly applied what he learned, improving at a rate comparable to Kakashi's.

Of course, in Haneda's opinion, the two kids' performance was nowhere near Kakashi's.

Kakashi is the real genius!

On the way, Haneda unexpectedly learned some news.

Due to the betrayal of the Kaguya clan, the Hidden Mist Village, which was originally at war with the Hidden Sand Village, decided to cease hostilities.

Sunagakure dispatched Yotsuki to Kirigakure for negotiations.

Yekura's route was not far from the route he took to Ryuchi Cave.

Haneda knew perfectly well that Yekura was a sacrifice sent by Sunagakure to resolve the grudges between Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

Haneda had a rough idea of ​​the specific reasons.

This involves the power struggles within the upper echelons of Sunagakure.

Before the Third Shinobi World War, Yekura and Rasa were evenly matched rivals for the title of Fourth Kazekage.

Rasa's performance in the war was disgraceful.

He was defeated and captured by two young geniuses, himself and Kakashi, and utterly disgraced Sunagakure.

Even so, the higher-ups of Sunagakure still chose Rasa.

The lower and middle-ranking ninjas of Sunagakure were bound to be dissatisfied, especially those who supported Pakura.

Therefore, Rasa may have used Yekura as a bargaining chip to secure peace with Kirigakure in order to maintain his own authority.

At the same time, they used someone else to do their dirty work and eliminate future troubles.

Haneda held the intelligence scroll he had bought from the black market and pondered for a moment.

Yekura's bloodline limit, Scorching Release, is a fusion of Wind Release chakra and Fire Release chakra.

Haneda is proficient in both of these types of chakra.

Furthermore, both Scorching Release and Ice Release involve Wind Release chakra, so they may be related in essence.

Moreover, Yekura herself is quite strong.

According to the original novel, she had almost no feelings for the village after being betrayed.

Even though Sunagakure had one of her disciples, Pakura didn't hold back much when killing people.

Haneda has a high probability of persuading her to join him.

Kimimaro, who had been intentionally or unintentionally watching Haneda, jogged over and asked:

"Mr. Haneda, is there some trouble?"

Haneda glanced at Kimimaro, then punched him on the head and said:

Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs.

Haneda then asked another question:

"Have you finished the cultivation tasks I assigned you?"

"No," Kimimaro shook his head and said softly.

"Hurry up and start cultivating," Yu Tian said with a laugh.

……

As Kimimaro left, he noticed Haku smirking and snorted coldly.

"As a tool, it has absolutely no intention of helping Mr. Haneda solve his problems!"

Kimimaro thought to himself.

…………

The Sand Village delegation, namely Yekura and others, landed in the southern part of the Land of Water.

Landing here is closer to Kirigakure and also near Ryuchi Cave.

Haneda led Shiro and Kimimaro on a detour and then arrived at the town that Yekura would inevitably pass through.

Looking at the bustling street, Bai sighed:

"It's quite lively here, Mr. Haneda. Are you planning to stay here for a few days?"

Kimimaro said, "Idiot, Mr. Haneda has important business to attend to."

Haneda led the two to a hotel, booked a room, and then said:

"I have to go out for a while."

"If you're bored, you can go shopping or cultivate."
